Product Description

A cool, decorative storage cabinet…

Although we are unsure of the exact age of this piece, we believe the cupboard would date to the earlier part of the 20th century, circa 1930s. This particular piece has been given a modern and funky twist, with some ‘sign written’ wording and art work, to depict a display cabinet for an opticians’ practice. For us, we think it’s been done brilliantly, albeit naively. It’s a great look and one that wouldn’t look out of place in ones home or of course a retail or theatrical setting. We understand that this was from a prop house, therefore it’s possibly been used for a theatre backdrop or something similar…

The cabinet is made in a lightweight wood, therefore meaning this isn’t a heavy piece. Once the doors are opened, it reveals a wooden shelf which gives this piece two separate storage areas. Although this cabinet is perfectly functional, we are selling firstly for display purposes. As it’s light and tatty in places, we don’t believe this would enjoy a lots of heavy possessions inside

We are offering this piece in ‘as found’ condition, therefore there is natural wear and tear. There are some surface scuffs and abrasions across the entire piece, along with some ‘higgledy piggledy’ areas of wood. The cabinet is naively built in places (including the reverse), yet the entire piece is good structurally. One notable point, is the small repair that is pictured on the top left of the door (front facing). This doesn’t impact the doors’ function, if anything it adds to the charm and authenticity of this ‘one off’ piece. Please do study the photos to help with your analysis as it would be hard to highlight all imperfections…
